Mommy's Secret

Mom goes to an ATM and the currency is shown as Rs ! What is that ? Just asking since I don't know. Unbelievable writing, very painful acting, sometimes stupid dialogues, terribly jarring background score. Robbing banks couldn't be easier. Every time she gets away , well not murdering ! A wooden stump would have acted better than the dumb mother and daughter. Daughter escapes from the den with her brother , but mobsters just give up. Usually in other movies mobsters go out with blazing guns. What happened to those thugs ? And that bouncer ! He simply let a woman go in and he was not to be seen doing anything when the sister runs out of the den with her brother. Overall badly done movie. Watch only if you feel lazy to search for a better movie. . !

Lifetime makes some very low budget movies...but really?.....it took 4 "writers" to bring this monstrosity to the screen......did Lifetime hire some grade school kids to write this thing? Actually attaching their names to this title speaks volumes of their obviously lack of talent, and probably means you will run into them in the soup line on any given day....talentless bums.....all or some probably have some production company or fancy themselves as teachers/instructors.....if you see their name as a teacher or production company.....RUN!!!!

The secret that is. So you may know Charisma Carpenter from her role in the Buffy TV show. She grew up - well she matured. She can't play a teenager anymore obviously and unfortunately probably only gets weird roles likes this one more often than not. She was a side character in one of the Expandables movies. But other than that, you probably didn't see her in much.

And I would suggest that you shouldn't watch her in this either. Not really worth your time (even if you consider one "twist" towards the end). Weak script, drama of the week, overall rather generic and weak in the dialog department. I won't judge the actors by one performance, but one thing is for sure, this isn't their best work (I know for sure when it comes to Charisma and I hope the same to be true for the others)

As I write this I am laid up with a broken ankle. Otherwise I would have found something better to do. LOL The premise although a bit odd and unbelievable had potential. The dialogue was poorly written which probably hampered the mediocre actors.

The real reason I bothered with a review was the moms disguise, dressed up like a man while wearing full make up!?! Another reviewer pointed this out but I had to chime in.

I am tired of seeing women with eye shadow, false eyelashes, lipstick etc in situations that make absolutely no sense. I have even heard characters say I look terrible without make-up while the actor is clearly wearing make-up. Can we stop setting a 'standard' of beauty for women that makes no sense. A 'standard' of beauty that must be kept even when dressing up as a man! 😂

This was a terrible movie: the story line was unbelievable, the acting was stiff & unbelievable! The mother's and daughter's acting was really bad! There was no real emotion! If a mother found out her son was gambling and in deep debt, there's no way she would smile and softly say it's going to be okay! There would be screaming and threat of consequences and getting professional help for him. It was like the daughter was sleep walking throughout and when she was bound & gagged----it was actually laughable! It might have been better with better casting and actors that could actually act!
